PUBG Mobile India update: 'Access to PUBG in India not illegal', says Ministry in response to an RTI

The Government of India, once gave nightmares to the gamers by banning the PUBG Mobile app in India, along with many other apps which had Chinese investment, now has brought a much needed relief for them.

While, the question on the game's relaunch in India still lingers, the Government has responded to an RTI saying that it has not banned the access of the Mobile Nordic Map: Livik Apk of the game. Gem Wire had filed an Right to Information (RTI) application last month, seeking a response on the legality of the game, several months after the ban amongst many other questions.

Among other questions, another query regarding the ban was if the ban was also applicable on the new app and on what basis, to which the Ministry responded saying that the ban was applicable to a specific version of the app, which was banned not just in India, but many other Asian countries, owing to several various reasons.

Another question in the RTI application was about if there was any open dicussion between the Ministry of Information Technology and the PUBG Corporation/Krafton INC., to which the ministry denied saying that 'no formal dialog with PUBG/Krafton is held by the Ministry."

While there have been many news and responses of PUBG Mobile India making a comeback sooner rather than later, and this response would be a great news for all the users, but the wait continues for the game even though its Indian substitute FAU-G is on the heels of its launch on India's Republic Day.
